Refining Qi starts from repairing the panel.

Chapter 183: Soul Condensation and Infant Transformation, Nine-Aperture Golden Pill

This incarnation has been going through tribulations for more than thirty years, and only three months have passed in the Cang Yun Realm.

For those who practice cultivation, it happens in the blink of an eye.

The aura of the laws between heaven and earth is becoming more perfect and round than before. The freed Heavenly Spirit is gradually regaining control of the world before it.

Feeling the familiar magic power flowing in his body, Chu Zheng was a little dazed. His spirit was strengthened a lot, and the Tao fetus in his middle dantian expanded further and had reached its limit. He could now start trying to condense the golden elixir.

However, his mind was not here at all at the moment. The words Zhao Tingxian had said to him before had caused too much impact on him.

If what Zhao Tingxian said is true, he came to this world not three years ago as he thought, but more than twenty years ago.

It’s just that the spiritual wisdom in the womb was sealed before and has never awakened.

As for the reason for his sudden resurgence, Chu Zheng couldn't help but think of the repair panel. The panel appeared after he woke up, which was obviously not a coincidence.

Perhaps he needed to go to the Taixu Holy Land. There were too many secrets about Zhao Tingxian. Thousands of years ago, someone had predicted that he would be reborn here and had made arrangements in advance, which inevitably made him feel a little doubtful.

After a long time, Chu Zheng gathered his thoughts, stood up and left the top of the mountain.

During this period of time, he focused most of his energy on his incarnation. The huge time gap required him to calm down after a few days.

He walked around the holy land and found that Geng Yiyang was not in the holy land and he didn't know where he had gone.

Since entering the immortal calamity, Geng Yiyang's mentality has undergone a great change. He would often walk outside and could no longer sit still.

The environment of heaven and earth has changed, becoming more suitable for spiritual practice. In addition, following Geng Yiyang's example, some Taixuan elders who had originally given up began to practice diligently again, hoping to make further progress in their lifetime.

All the trivial matters of Taixuan Holy Land now basically fall on Fu Quanliang's shoulders. All Taixuan disciples, whether from the inner or outer sects, respect him as the eldest brother.

Fu Quanliang seemed to enjoy this quite a bit.

Chu Zheng now has the title of Holy Lord, but he has nothing to worry about. With Fu Quanliang around, he doesn't need to worry at all.

After a circle, Chu Zheng returned to the starting point.

When he reached halfway up the mountain, he went to meet Li Mingzhou and others. With the changes in the laws of heaven and earth, their path of cultivation became much easier, their energy and blood increased day by day, and they were gradually adapting to the environment of heaven and earth.

With the changes in their identities and status, a sense of distance inevitably arose between Chu Zheng and Li Mingzhou, which was beyond human control.

After staying for a while, Chu Zheng said goodbye and left, heading towards the top of the mountain.

The rising sun shines on the top of the sacred peak.

In the training ground in front of the palace, Song Lingxue sat cross-legged, practicing and studying martial arts as usual.

On weekdays, Chu Zheng rarely saw her rest. It was as if there was a beast chasing her from behind. She dared not relax even a little bit. There was an invisible string stretched tight, more nervous than him.
After the great changes in the environment of heaven and earth, her cultivation entered a period of terrifying explosive growth. Now she has entered the seventh level of Yuan Gang Realm, getting closer and closer to the realm of Bao Dan in martial arts. Her determination is gradually revealed, and her actual combat power is no longer any different from that of ordinary cultivators in the late stage of Ru Dao Realm.

This is the true combat power that the Yuan Gang Realm of Martial Arts should have. However, under the distorted environment of heaven and earth, it has been restrained for too long and it is inevitable that it will take some time to recover.

Sensing Chu Zheng's aura, Song Lingxue slowly stopped her power and glanced over, revealing a glimmer of light:
"When did you leave?"

"Just now."

Chu Zheng slowly stepped onto the martial arts stage, lay down next to Song Lingxue, rested his head on her lap, and slowly closed his eyes, his brows full of fatigue.

With so many secrets hanging in my mind and so many doubts abounding, I inevitably feel a heavy burden and am no longer as relaxed and carefree as before.

The familiar warm breath behind his head made him relax involuntarily, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling drowsy.

There was a faint smile in Song Lingxue's eyes, and she raised her hand to smooth Chu Zheng's slightly wrinkled brows.

She didn't know what Chu Zheng was worried about, but she didn't ask because she had no way to provide any help to Chu Zheng.

There is no point in asking further questions now, except to further realize my current incompetence.

The Cang Yun Realm is still the Cang Yun Realm of the Immortal Alliance. The temporary changes in the way of heaven cannot last long. The Ten Thousand Sects Hidden Dragon Competition will still be held as scheduled, and the people in the Martial Hall will still arrive on time.

Perhaps the time she can spend with Chu Zheng is running out.

Originally, she thought that she might be able to rely on the people in the Martial Hall to take Chu Zheng and his family away and escape from the turmoil in the Cang Yun Realm.

But plans often cannot keep up with changes. Today is different from the past. Chu Zheng is already the Holy Lord of Taixuan. He has all living beings under his feet and is valued by the Immortal Alliance, transcending this world.

Continuing to stay in Cangyun is obviously a more advantageous option for Chu Zheng. Going to the Martial Palace is tantamount to destroying his own path.

What's more, the Martial Palace is not necessarily a paradise, it may even be more dangerous.

As her thoughts drifted away, Song Lingxue's fingers gently slid along Chu Zheng's eyebrows, lightly stroking his outline. The warmth from her fingertips made her lose consciousness for a moment.

The breeze blew by, ruffling the boy's long hair. His sleeping face, under the soft light of the morning sun, exuded a tranquility and warmth that was rarely seen in normal days.

Song Lingxue subconsciously raised her hand to cover the boy's eyes, blocking the setting sunlight, as if wanting to seize this rare moment of peace.

As a person who practices cultivation, his life span is so long. In such a long life, Chu Zheng will inevitably meet a more outstanding woman in the future.

There are countless beautiful jades and materials in the vast expanse of beautiful mountains and rivers, not to mention the entire universe.

There are people who are a hundred times better than her in birth, a hundred times more talented than her, and a hundred times more beautiful than her, and they are probably as numerous as the stars in the sky.

What's more, she is not by Chu Zheng's side.

After a while, Song Lingxue leaned over and kissed the boy's forehead gently, but they separated immediately, with a look of disappointment in her eyes.

Her body is like willow catkins blown by the wind, without any roots. The starry sky is so vast that there is no place for her to stay, and she can only go with the flow.

I have no control over myself. It is just like this.

…………

After accompanying Song Lingxue in practicing for a few days, Chu Zheng took out some practice resources from the Taixuan Treasury and immediately began his retreat.

He has limited time to begin with and cannot afford to waste it. The stronger his cultivation is, the more say he has and the more room he has for maneuver.

If he was stronger than Zhao Tingxian and Daozu, all his troubles at this moment would no longer exist.

At this moment, his spirit and soul have been complete, and he can move towards becoming a divine infant, and his Taoist fetus has already been round and flawless.

After a little hesitation, Chu Zheng chose to condense the golden elixir first.

Firstly, he already had this experience once, and secondly, after condensing the golden elixir, it would be safer for him to condense his soul and transform into an infant.

After bathing and burning incense to get rid of the restlessness in his heart, Chu Zheng sat naked in the spiritual spring, circulated the Great Circulation, refined the Yuan Qi, and improved his cultivation step by step.

Back then, on the Xianwu battlefield, Ji Yuyan had mentioned to him that after reaching the Golden Elixir stage, he would be on the Qi Refining lineage and there would be no turning back.

He had always been unable to understand this, but after his incarnation had gone through the tribulation, he had a vague understanding. The Golden Elixir Realm was completely different from the previous realms. It was the key step from refining essence into qi to refining qi into spirit.

After the Golden Elixir, he has already started to refine his spirit. At this stage, the traces left by the Qi refining method on his body can no longer be erased and exist in his spirit and soul.

Even if his power is dispersed, in the eyes of heaven and earth, he is still a Qi cultivator. As his cultivation level increases, disasters will still approach.

In this regard, Chu Zheng had a vague guess in his mind.

The heavenly tribulation of the immortal path is aimed at the immortal practitioners, but he is a Qi cultivator and has the method to resolve the tribulation. If he can resolve all the calamity, when he reaches the ultimate level of the immortal path and enters the immortal tribulation, will there still be a heavenly tribulation?

On the contrary, if there is no heavenly tribulation, then whether the heavenly tribulation originally aimed at the immortal path will turn into a more terrifying calamity is still an unknown.

Chu Zheng cleared his mind of distracting thoughts and devoted himself to cultivation, and the Dao fetus soon gradually closed.

With the experience gained from the first attempt, Chu Zheng's speed became much faster. Coupled with the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the golden elixir had taken shape in just one month.

Kaka-

The moment the golden elixir took shape, nine crisp sounds were heard without Chu Zheng having to do anything.

In the blink of an eye, the Nine-Aperture Golden Elixir was completed.

Boom——

The moment the golden elixir opened up, the laws of heaven and earth changed, and a thick layer of golden clouds suddenly gathered in the sky above Taixuan.

A moment later, a sweet rain fell from the sky, carrying with it five-colored divine light, majestically falling and covering the entire Taixuan Holy Land.

The golden rain of light penetrated the magic circle, ignored the rock barrier, and fell into the bodies of all Taixuan cultivators.

Many Taixuan disciples, including many elders in seclusion, have experienced a baptism and benefited greatly. Many impurities in their bodies have been expelled, their cultivation has greatly improved, their bottlenecks have been loosened, and even their root bones and aptitude have undergone a certain transformation.

Most of the light rain fell on Chu Zheng's head, washed over the Yin-Yang Spirit, and went straight to his middle dantian, gathering into a golden lake.

The Nine-Aperture Golden Elixir hung above the lake, like a huge sun, shining brightly and absorbing vast divine power. The spiritual orifices opened on it were several times larger than those condensed by the golden elixir in the incarnation.

Chu Zheng couldn't help but take a deep breath, and his Nine Aperture Golden Elixir shook slightly. The Yuan Qi of heaven and earth within a thousand miles suddenly surged, all because of him.

The more spiritual orifices one has, the faster one’s cultivation speed will be.

Although there were only three more spiritual orifices, Chu Zheng found after a brief comparison that the cultivation speed of the Nine-Aperture Golden Elixir was more than a hundred times stronger than that of his Six-Aperture Golden Elixir incarnation.

This is closely related to the size of the spiritual orifice.

The golden elixir was ready. Chu Zheng did not hesitate at all and immediately took out many pills that nourished the soul and began to condense his spirit and transform into an infant.

For ordinary cultivators, this level is a stage of life and death. They need to be cautious and make many attempts before they can begin to break through.

But for Chu Zheng, there is no risk at all. Even if his soul is damaged, he can repair it instantly through the panel. He doesn't have to worry about any possible sequelae.

The process of condensing the soul and transforming into an infant was much smoother than Chu Zheng had expected, and there was no need to use the panel for repair at all.

The rain of light that had fallen from the sky had already cleansed his spirit, and his condition had been adjusted to its best.

Half a month later, the Yin-Yang spirit underwent a transformation and successfully transformed into a baby.

After entering the Divine Infant realm, Chu Zheng immediately noticed the difference. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth could be adjusted at will with a thought. The same magic skills and supernatural powers, when performed by a Divine Infant cultivator, were dozens or hundreds of times more powerful.

This is exactly the reason why cultivators above the Divine Infant Realm were previously strictly prohibited from taking action at will, as they could easily destroy cities and countries and the destructive power was too great.

This is also the reason why the Divine Infant Monk can be revered as a powerful being.

…………

…………

When the strange golden cloud scene appeared above the Taixuan Holy Land, all the cultivators above the Immortal Tribulation Realm in the Cangyun Realm felt something in their hearts, their expressions were slightly solemn, and their eyes were full of confusion.

Once entering the Immortal Tribulation, one becomes extremely sensitive to the movements of Heaven and can quickly detect anything that is wrong.

After tracing back to the source and discovering that it was Taixuan's location, many immortal cultivators had different thoughts.

For the Cang Yun Realm, strange phenomena falling from the sky are rumors that have only existed since ancient times, and they often mean the appearance of a rare genius or evildoer.

When a living being's talent reaches a certain level, God cannot bear to bury it. When it breaks through, he will reward it to help it consolidate its foundation and increase its chances of surviving the tribulation.

What's more, you will be blessed with good fortune and will win every battle and every gamble. You will also be able to turn misfortune into good fortune and turn danger into safety.

This kind of people are also called the darlings of heaven, the real "chosen ones".

When destiny is relatively constant, the existence of a favored one often means that the destiny of others will be diluted.

Those who compete with the favorite of heaven often have a very high casualty rate. Only one person’s name is heard by his peers, and the rest are forgotten by the crowd.

Now that the strange phenomenon has fallen on Taixuan, there is almost no need to think about it. The first person that all the cultivators think of is Chu Zheng.

Soon, many immortal monks realized a more terrifying fact.

In a short period of time, Chu Zheng's cultivation made another breakthrough.

A moment later, news of changes in the Hidden Dragon List was announced.

[No. 1 on Hidden Dragon List: Taixuan Holy Land, Chu Zheng, bone age 21, cultivation level is in the early stage of Divine Infant Realm.]

[Second on the Hidden Dragon List: Yuanling Holy Land, Shang Zuling, bone age 87, cultivation level is the middle stage of the Divine Infant Realm. ]

Not only has Chu Zheng entered the realm of a divine infant, but according to the perception of Heaven, his actual combat power is even stronger than Shang Zuling.

This change made all the cultivators in the Immortal Tribulation Realm unable to recover for a long time.

No one would doubt the Hidden Dragon List.

Shang Zuling, a descendant of the Immortal King, practiced the Immortal King's method, how powerful is his foundation? But now he is still suppressed.

Soon, this news spread to the ears of monks from various holy places. The top of the Hidden Dragon List had changed hands, causing turmoil.

A few days later, the news that Chu Zheng had entered the divine infant stage had spread like wildfire throughout the world, shocking the four regions of Cang Yun.

A twenty-year-old cultivator at the Divine Infant Realm, the lord of a holy land, even Shang Zuling, at this moment, seemed somewhat dwarfed by Chu Zheng.

In terms of actual age, Shang Zuling is more than sixty years older than Chu Zheng, and he has received great training since he was young. Chu Zheng, on the other hand, became a monk halfway through his life, and has only been on the path to immortality for a few years at most.

Any cultivator can understand the difference between them.
